My first thought when I saw the Nanette Lepore uniform was: where is the staffer going to put her ID and pocket change? It would seem that the Thompson Hotel is targeting a suave 007 type of customer--or one who wishes to live out the fantasy--and therefore a hotel vixen works perfectly with the brand.

Yeah, this will look great on your average pimple-faced college kid working the front desk. Unless they're figuring on hiring runway models at $ 100 an hour to check people in and out.

Ridiculous.....I would not stay at any of the Hotel's with staff dressed looking like they are ready to go clubing....Yuke....Bad idea!

The petite Asian girl in the drawing looks hot...that outfit isn't going to look so good on Consuela the 300 Mexican maid scrubbing the skid marks outta the toilet tho..."Meeser Sooperman no esss here!!!"

she looks like a cripple..not very attractive to me!

Thumbs up. When will airlines and other "service" industries wake up too? The last plane trip I took, one of the flight attendants was so fat that her hips whacked into everybody everytime she took a trip down the aisle. It's about math (size DOES matter) and visual appeal as much as fat chicks want to pretend that it isn't. Packaging DOES matter when you're selling something whether you like it or not.

I can understand a hotel chain wanting their staff to look nice but that outfit has paw me all over, written all over it. If someone is drunk at the time of being served, they may just do that. I wouldn't to wear for that reason alone.

It's not about a single airline stocking their employee list with Playmates. It's about overall attention to service AND style. Why bother dressing up a cow with a uniform when underneath, it's still a person who can't take care of herself?

Looks DO matter especially when selling something or providing a service. And it's not just about the superfical "looks." Looks DO attract customers but they also SAY something about the company and the individuals who provide the service. An attractive person tells the customer that A) the company cares about its image and service and B) the employee in conscientious and will likely care about YOU as much as they care about themselves. A fat unattractive employee "says" something very differently than someone who is in shape and can "wear the uniform."

So I wholly agree with the strategy to create a uniform and only hire people who can fit into it. Does this mean that every "in shape" person who applies for a job will be a good employee? Of course not. But you're assured that everyone who IS hired will at least look good enough to attract customers and, there ARE good looking people out there who also (gasp!) have great personalities. It's a shock, I know. Not all hot women are boring or grumpy or self-centered. Why settle for a fat-chick with a "great personality" when you can have a hot chick with a great personality just as easily? Maybe that'll be an incentive for the fat one's to get off their lazy Cheeto laden asses to go work out a little bit more?

The barmaid uniform needs to go. Reeks of hooker!!

the only thing dumber are the idiots who find this the least bit interesting.

Yeah....that outfit says "we hire hookers to serve you better." It might appeal to business men traveling alone but if you're hoping to attract their wives and families....strike 3!! You're outta here.

Yesssssssssssss!!!! Im booking for a week!!!

I am a Director of Sales at a brand name hotel and would be appalled if myself or staff were expected to wear such a "uniform". No guest is going to take someone seriously wearing such and it looks like it's for hotels that really want to give its' guest some extra special attention if you know what I mean.

Not appropriate.

Sexiness is class and respect no matter what you wear meaning sexy clothing and FEMALE no blah crap zilch. Bout time females looked and dressed like females. Since when older can't wear? Peasant. Don't go there than, glad some ragging nothing WON"T be there amoungst. As if your opinion of your kind is the only way to be. That's how classless and dumb nothing you are. Women designed these because they are real.

Won't find me paying my money there.

so um what are the male stafffers wearing leather pants and no shirts? that dress works in a bar setting not in a service setting unless they are hookers!!! oh and brian, unless you are hung like a horse and look like adonis you need to get over yourself!!!

Love Nanette Lepore, hate these "uniforms". Not designed for ease of movement, designed for sexual harrassment. You can look nice without this short, tight, and revealing dress.
Also, I just love how people like commenter Brian are so high and mighty about how really perfect and great he is. Of course Brian has NO bad habits, NO stresses, NO anxieties or worries. It is just pitiful at the outrageous judgments people aim at each other. So someone has some weight on them and goes to food for comfort. How many things do you do behind closed doors, that are not great for your health, physical, mental, or spiritual? Too much drinking? Drugs? Nasty sexual habits? Gambling? Pornography? Even if the world might not see your hidden negative behaviors, God sees all and every thing we do is clear to Him. Stop judging the problems and troubles of your fellow humans and start judging yourself. You are FAR from perfect.
